Three incredible desserts… but only one will make it onto the menu. 🍰

Earlier today we were at the tasting with the chefs ahead of the Edinburgh St Patrick’s Day Charity Ball on 21st March — and let’s just say the decision was not easy.

Swipe through to see the three contenders.

Which one would you choose?

Guests joining us on the night will find out which dessert made the final cut. We’re really looking forward to welcoming everyone for what promises to be a fantastic evening of great food, music, and craic.

We’re just about finalising numbers with the hotel and may still be able to squeeze in one or two last places. If you’d like to join us, please email [email protected] in the next day or so and we’ll see what we can do.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there! 🍀

☘️ Did You Know? 🇳🇬

Most people know St Patrick as the Patron Saint of Ireland… but did you know he is also recognised as a Patron Saint of Nigeria?

This connection reflects the strong historical ties between Irish missionaries and Nigeria, who played a significant role in education and community development across the country.

It’s a powerful reminder that St Patrick’s legacy reaches far beyond Ireland, uniting cultures and communities around the world.

🌍 Irish roots. Global impact.

Supporting Scottish Huntington's Association 💜

We are proud that the Edinburgh St Patrick’s Day Charity Ball 2026 will once again support the incredible work of Scottish Huntington’s Association — the only organisation in the country dedicated exclusively to families impacted by Huntington’s disease.

⸻

💜 What Is Huntington’s Disease?

Huntington’s disease is a devastating, hereditary condition that damages the brain over time.

It can leave people unable to walk, talk, eat or drink independently.

• Each child of a parent with Huntington’s has a 50/50 chance of inheriting the disease
• It affects movement, thinking processes, personality and behaviour
• It can cause serious mental health challenges
• Its impact is felt across generations

Families living with Huntington’s require highly specialist, personalised support to cope with the complexity of the condition — and to navigate a system where awareness is still far too limited.

⸻

💜 How Your Support Makes a Difference

Scottish Huntington’s Association is currently navigating rising costs and funding pressures — but remains committed to ensuring that no family faces Huntington’s disease alone.

Funds raised at the Ball — through our after-dinner auction and table raffle — will help to:

✅ Provide specialist Huntington’s disease services to families across Scotland
✅ Help people remain at home longer with loved ones
✅ Support young people and young carers, including those at risk of developing the disease
✅ Reduce financial hardship for families forced to give up work due to caring responsibilities
✅ Deliver Huntington’s disease training to frontline healthcare professionals

Every ticket purchased helps provide vital, life-changing support.

🍀 Giving Back is at the Heart of the Ball 🍀

One of the most important parts of the Edinburgh St Patrick’s Day Charity Ball is the difference we make together.

This year, we are proud once more to support these three incredible charities:

✨ St Catherine’s Homeless Project
✨ Dunedin Connollys Gaelic Football Club – Youth Section
✨ Scottish Huntington’s Scottish Huntington's Association

Over the coming days, we’ll be shining a spotlight on each of these organisations — sharing more about the vital work they do in our community and why your support on the night truly matters.

The Ball has always been about more than just a great evening out. It’s about connection, culture, community — and giving back.

And speaking of the night itself… 🍸✨

There are still tickets available for this year’s Ball. We’ve also made it easier for smaller groups to join us, with ticket options now available in groups of 4 or 6 (please contact us directly for other ticket requests)

We know not everyone has a full table of 10 — so we’ll happily seat smaller groups together with other like-minded guests to ensure a brilliant night for all.

Whether you’re coming with friends, colleagues, family, or making new connections on the night — we’d love to have you with us.

🎟️ Tickets are available now via our website. (www.stpatricksdayball.org)
